Fired From At Will

I am just wanting to vent if that’s alright… first time posting here, long time lurker. I applied for a role that stated in job listing certain hours and flexible two day in office and three days remote. First day in office, I am informed those are NOT my working hours and it’s not negotiable. First day, it’s already toxic IMO. Next, they ask what days I want to be in office. I say the two, and they say no, these are your days. Does it make sense to anyone if it’s flexible that you aren’t allowed to select what days you want to be in office or remote? I changed one of my days with an hour notice and they said I can’t do that, well too late. Maybe I should’ve lied and said I was sick huh? I make up 1/2 days, and the 2/2 day I worked…

I applied for a role that stated in job listing certain hours and flexible two day in office and three days remote.

First day in office, I am informed those are NOT my working hours and it’s not negotiable. First day, it’s already toxic IMO.

Next, they ask what days I want to be in office. I say the two, and they say no, these are your days.

Does it make sense to anyone if it’s flexible that you aren’t allowed to select what days you want to be in office or remote?

I changed one of my days with an hour notice and they said I can’t do that, well too late. Maybe I should’ve lied and said I was sick huh?

I make up 1/2 days, and the 2/2 day I worked early from home and was planning to drive in just like the other coworkers do.

I was informed I cannot do that.

Rules for thee but not for me huh?

Today, I was terminated and walked out of the building.

Surprisingly enough, it felt like a relief off my shoulder. I’d been here for one month and was stressed out by week two by how incompetent the managers are and how slow and outdated the technology is (I work in Tech).

They also tried to force me to return the keyboard and mouse that same day (which is at my home office) when I had no notice of being terminated.

I said no, I will let you know when I return it.

I got a call an hour later from the Director yelling at me on the phone when I am no longer employed by them.

I am reaching out for legal guidance in this situation.

Just wanted to vent…
